Ingredients

4 tortillas (corn or flour)
1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup toppings of your choice (pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, etc.)
1 teaspoon Italian herbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: Slice the tortillas into triangles or squares for even shapes.
Step 3: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the tortilla pieces in a single layer.
Step 4: Spread a thin layer of pizza or marinara sauce on each chip.
Step 5: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chips and add your chosen toppings.
Step 6: Drizzle Italian herbs, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes evenly over the chips.
Step 7: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and edges turn golden brown.
Step 8: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes to achieve maximum crunchiness.

Tips & Variations

Use corn tortillas for a crunchier chip or flour tortillas for a softer bite.
Mix cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or Parmesan with the mozzarella for added flavor complexity.
Add fresh herbs like basil after baking for a fresh finish.
For a milder snack, omit crushed red pepper flakes or substitute with paprika.

Storage

Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the chips for up to 2 months. Reheat briefly in a hot oven or toaster oven to restore crispiness.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought pizza sauce for this recipe?

Yes, store-bought pizza or marinara sauce works perfectly, just opt for a thicker sauce to keep the chips from getting soggy.

How do I keep the chips crispy after baking?

Allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet before storing and avoid stacking them until they have cooled to maintain their crisp texture.
